MANGALDAN SITE

On our second day, we are assigned to Foreman Danny Soriano (Construction Manager of DHD Design

Upon our arrival, we are then introduced by Ar. Quinto to her skilled workers and laborers. We had small

Also, a kind mason taught us on how to form rebars for the concrete post. He taught us how to properly

In our fifth day at Mangaldan Site, we have learned the value of wearing personal protective equipment
and the value of material inventory.

Upon arrival, the labor caught our attention and reported that one labor had torn his foot by a nail. The
action that we'd given is to rush him to the nearest clinic. There, he was treated and injected anti-tetanus
and antibiotics.

The PPE is necessary to to protect employees from health and safety risks they might encounter at work,
including injuries.

After that, a 500 hollowblocks were delivered. In the receipt, it said that Ar. Quinto ordered 500 pieces of
#4 CHB and we are expecting 504 pieces to be delivered. However, upon manual counting and
recounting, we found out that there are 15 pieces lacking.

Material inventory is very important in construction. It is a crucial part since every piece of material cost a
lot. It is always be a must to do recount whenever there are delivery.
